For all you Francophone out there...what is the French word for Anthem?
------------- "Mister Fripp, your music is quite different than everything else out there. In one word, how would you describe it?" "Progressive.... yeah, that's it..." |

Motet, I think, but don't take my word for it I believe it is used in the english language aswell, with a slightly different meaning (accapella) ------------- I'm always almost unlucky _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Id5ZcnjXSZaSMFMC Id5LM2q2jfqz3YxT |

It is "l'hymne" (like "hymn"). The "national anthem" is "l'hymne nationale." Peace. |

The official translation is Motet;( de mot): XIIIe Chant d'église à plusieurs voix XVe Motet a cappella. Piéce de musique destinnée à l'église et composée sur des paroles latines qui ne font pas partie de l'office. ex : Lully , Bach but Hymne(gr.hymnus) is also correct even if it's meaning has a larger use : 1. Chant, poème à la gloire des dieux 2. Chant à la louange de Dieu (tradition chrétienne) voir Cantique,psaume 3.Chant solennel en l'honneur de la patrie (l'hymne national français) 4.Chant, poème lyrique exprimant la joie (Beethoven l'hymne à la joie) interesting comparing the 2 definitons:in french motet is only used for church music while hymne is used for both while in english both terms anthem and hymn are used for church and non church music anthem:(greek, antiphona) 1.formerly a religious song sung antiphonally 2.a religious choral song usually based on words from the bible 3. a song of praise or devotion, as to a nation college etc. Hymn(greek hymnos) 1.a song in praise or honor of God, a god or gods 2.any song of praise or glorification |
